[SIZE=10pt]Hey all - [/SIZE]
I've just purchased a 2006 FJR that came with a Cee Baileys domed top +6. The windshield has all the aerodynamics of a barn door and at highway speeds I get quite a bit of movement at the top of the shield if it is raised at all. I also get quite a bit of turbulence at the shoulders. I've done a lot of reading on the forum regarding aftermarket windshields and I realize that choices are very rider-dependent, but I'd like to get some input from some of you that have tried some of the options I'm looking at.
I'm 6'1" and don't usually ride with a passenger (wife has her own wheels !!), so pillion turbulence isn't an issue. I'm fairly broad shouldered so I do notice quite a bit of turbulence from my existing Cee Bailey screen.
Think I've narrowed my choices to a Cee Bailey +4+4 with Flip, or a VStream shield. Seems like from comments I've read that the "flip" is worth 2" of added height, but the VStream seems to yield better upper body protection and cleaner air for pillion. Yeah the proof of the pudding will be to purchase and install, but I'd sure like to hit the mark first time around. Being from a cold clime state, obviously protection is pretty important and I really don't need to worry about getting too warm !!
Any thoughts from you 6-footers would be greatly appreciated !!
Thanks much.
